I voted for option #2. I like the idea of making the first coin all about Maine, because we represent the state of Maine. So I think the first coin we make should be option #2. Then we can go with something else later on like a lighthouse or what ever we want later.

Option 2. I realized the significance of Option 1 being the first Maine cache the headlight, but I also agree with attroll that the coin should represent Maine. Also, there's more to Maine than lighthouses. Living in Northern Maine, all we have lots of potatoes and Moose. Or is it Mooses, or Meese. Ummm, nevermind....

I voted

I also chose Option 2 and agree that a lighthouse does say Maine, but the seal just says it more. In the coming years then a moose, a lighthouse, a loon, or Mt. Katahdin would be good choices for the reverse side of the coin. These of course are just my opinions.

At first, I was almost convinced on option# 1 but the more I think about this being the first coin I am leaning towards option # 2 as we are representing the whole state and not just the coastal areas. Good job on all the hard work that is involved to make this come to fruition. My vote option #2, have we checked with the state to be sure that we can indeed use the Maine Dirigo seal?

Oh I hate it when he makes sense when I was so set in what I was going to say... Haffy you got me to change my mind....
